Just how do you deal with adult acne?

Adult acne is a cruel joke played by nature. We always think of teenagers being the ones to deal with acne and breakouts. Unfortunately, many people face the horrible breakouts of adult acne problems. So, to help, I have put together some tips for dealing with acne as an adult.

Quitting smoking

Cigarette smoking is highly linked to causing women adult acne. If you smoke and walk around with a broken out face, it may be time to consider quitting. Quitting smoking may not only improve your skin, but will also improve your health and odds against cancer.

Food allergies

Some breakouts maybe the result of food allergies. If you think this may be the case for you, keep a food journal. Document what you eat and the condition of your skin. Try going a couple of weeks without foods you think may be a trigger to your acne and look for improvements.

Product ingredients

Your skin may be sensitive to some of the ingredients in your make up and skin care products. If you have added something new to your routine and noticed a difference in your skin, the new product maybe the cause of your breakouts.

No touching

Keep your hands off of your face. Your hands touch everything, and pull in dirt and oil. When you touch your face you are putting that dirt and oil on your skin and causing it to get into your pores clogging them up.

Tea tree oil

Tea Tree Oil is a natural disinfectant that can help against adult acne. By dabbing a small amount onto blemishes you can help breakdown the bacteria that causes breakouts and speed up the healing process without removing the skin’s natural moisture.

Drink more water

If you aren’t drinking at least 8 full glasses of water each day, it is time to start. I’m sure you already know how important water is to your body. It is also important for your skin. It helps keep the body and skin hydrated.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion treatments have gradually become the first choice for many people who are searching for an acne cure that helps correct acne scarring. Surveys suggest that 95% of adolescents and adults suffer with an acne scarring problems, so you should know that you’re not alone in your quest to find a cure.

Scaring caused by acne looks very different from any other scars – it’s the deficit of collagen in the specific region that gives rise to acne scarring. After the acne has subsided, the affected skin region needs collagen to heal and if the skin underlying the subsided acne doesn’t have it, then it tends to get scarred during the healing process thereby giving rise to an ice pick scar.

The SkinBase Facial™ is a perfect acne treatment for helping to rid yourself of acne scarring because it encourages collagen to form. In fact the effects of this acne treatment can often be noticed after just one treatment. If the acne scarring is deep, you may require a larger number of treatments. Your SkinBase therapist will advise you on this at the consultation stage.
